Be aware coinfacts auction prices are not always accurate

I was looking up 1935 peace dollar auction prices on coinfacts and saw a 60+ sold for $3,145 on ebay and so I looked into it. I found the seller and that price was for a lot and not all pcgs either. Weird glitch apparently.

That's why they have the warning when you "allow Ebay auctions" in the price guide. Sometimes a foreign coin or token slips in there too. I usually click on outliers to see why - it is either a mistake (wrong type of coin) or a rainbow toned coin.
Yep. Research or ignore the eBay prices on CoinFacts.
This is the CoinFacts page for the unique, mintage of one, pop 1/0 PCGS 1907 PR65 U.S./Philippines Peso.
CoinFacts ostensibly picked up three sales of NGC examples.
None of these three NGC examples are even U.S. or USPI or Philippines coins.
Sometimes they'll get a non-ebay price wrong. It's worth clicking to see.

it happens way too often to call it a glitch.
I always click through
I mostly pay attention to the results from the major auction houses like Heritage and Stacks. Does Great Collections make it to their reports? It should.
One thing you do have to watch for is a very low price for an issue. It’s usually a “details” coin that had the given sharpness grade, which is, of course, not the same as the other listings.
